New Cultivation Technique

"Tiger-Hundred Crack Saber Technique?"

Looking at the cultivation technique that had finally been successfully fused, Ling Yun couldn't help but exhale, a hint of anticipation in his voice as he began to comprehend it intently.

First and foremost, his most valued secret technique, Tiger's Might, had been preserved in the new cultivation method.

Furthermore, it seemed to have undergone significant changes due to the fusion with the Hundred Crack Saber Technique.

Ling Yun lowered his stance slightly and then extended his right palm, clenching it forcefully!

"Tiger's Might!"

In the next moment, berserk blood energy surged out from within his body. Ling Yun's entire form began to rapidly expand and grow larger. The clothes on his upper body immediately burst open and scattered on the ground. Gruesome veins and blood vessels emerged, only to be suppressed by the rapidly bulging muscles.

In the blink of an eye, a muscular monster nearly three meters tall had appeared on the scene!

Fortunately, his skin wasn't green, so he didn't have to worry about the Hulk demanding royalties.

Dense muscle groups were distributed perfectly across his body. When he flicked his fingers, they actually produced a metallic clanging sound!

"Am I walking further and further down the path of the inhuman?"

Ling Yun looked at his exaggerated physique and scratched his head with a touch of憨厚 (simple and honest/naive).

If he walked out in the middle of the night like this, he'd probably be mistaken for an Evil Spirit and dealt with on the spot!

However, feeling the terrifying power within him, the kind that could shatter the heavens with a single punch, this minor flaw was insignificant.

Compared to the previous Tiger's Might, the current Tiger's Might 2.0 was clearly bigger, fiercer, and more enduring!

Although the corresponding blood energy consumption had also increased severalfold, martial artists in the Bloodforging Realm could guarantee one thing: their blood energy reserves were absolutely abundant. Not to mention, he had trump cards like the Blood Essence Pearl.

"Hiss!"

In the next moment, Ling Yun's body began to shrink rapidly, soon returning to his normal size.

After stretching his body a bit and looking at the scattered clothes on the ground, his expression was somewhat helpless.

He could only be thankful that his pants were the same style as the Hulk's; otherwise, he didn't have a hobby of running around naked in front of others.

After testing the changes to Tiger's Might, Ling Yun turned his attention back to the cultivation technique itself.

His realm hadn't changed; he was still at the fifth level. It was a shame he didn't have any spare Modification Points on hand, and he had no idea if this cultivation technique could be further improved.

As for its power...

Ling Yun drew a training saber. Without using any blood energy, he casually swung it forward.

"Woooo!!"

A piercing sonic boom echoed. Where the blade passed, even the air seemed to be split in two, creating a visible wave of heat!

"Hmm, in terms of strength and speed, it's significantly stronger than the previous two martial arts."

"Moreover, the new saber technique not only inherited the swiftness of the Tiger Saber Technique but also incorporated the dominance and unstoppable momentum of the Hundred Crack Saber Technique."

Ling Yun quickly grasped all the information about the new saber technique and was very satisfied with the results of the fusion.

Even if it hadn't reached the level of an intermediate martial art, it was still far superior to any of his previous saber techniques!

Overall, this fusion was worth it!

By this time, the sky was gradually dimming.

Without realizing it, he had already spent several hours on the new cultivation technique.

Seeing the darkness creeping in from the horizon, Ling Yun's mind began to stir.

Although Qin Wei had told him to try and avoid causing trouble these few days, he wasn't being greedy. Just killing a couple of Evil Spirits and stopping should be considered acceptable, right?

As he thought this, his figure had already vanished from his original spot, melting into the darkness.

In a certain corner of Cloud City.

"Things really shouldn't have developed this way."

Xu Wu lay on the cold ground, his face bruised and swollen. His eyes stared blankly at the dark night sky, and a line of clear tears slid from the corners of his eyes.

The sound of his junior sister's crying still echoed in his ears. That damned devil, what was he doing!

Time rewinded to a few minutes ago.

"Senior brother, senior brother, you're so amazing! You suppressed this Evil Spirit so easily!"

Xu Wu felt his nostrils flare with pride as he looked at the admiration in his junior sister's eyes.

"What's this? Back in the day, when I faced a Fiend-Grade Evil Spirit alone, I could still escape with ease. This mere Mortal-Grade Evil Spirit is naturally something I can subdue with a flip of my hand!"

"Wow! Senior brother is so amazing!"

"Heh heh, where, where. Junior sister also provided excellent support."

"Mmm~~ Senior brother, you're such a tease."

Watching them flirt openly and oblivious to their surroundings, their two teammates couldn't help but roll their eyes. It was late at night, and they had been force-fed a mouthful of dog food for no reason.

However, just as Xu Wu excitedly reached out to caress the slender waist of his shy junior sister, a dark figure suddenly descended from the sky. To their stunned eyes, he stomped on the Evil Spirit and crushed it!

But also crushed was Xu Wu's heart, which was about to get close to her beauty!

"Damn it, who's so inconsiderate, throwing banana peels on the rooftop!"

The dark figure seemed completely unaware of their presence. It disdainfully wiped the bloodstains from its shoes and prepared to turn away.

"You! Damn it! Stop!"

Xu Wu's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing the surprised yet disappointed look in his junior sister's eyes beside him, his male pride was completely ignited!

A serpentine phantom flashed behind him, and with terrifying might, he charged towards the dark figure.

"Swish!"

His treasured sword was instantly drawn and swung towards the dark figure's neck!

"No matter who you are, die!"

Xu Wu's eyes were ferocious. This strike had reached the pinnacle of his life!

Ling Yun, seeing the guy charging at him like a wild bull with a contorted face, seemed startled and instinctively struck out with a palm.

"Splat!"

In the terrified eyes of the other three, the long saber in Xu Wu's hand instantly bent into a horrifying arc. He was sent flying back at a speed even faster than he had arrived, skidding across the ground for tens of meters before slowly coming to a halt!

"Gulp."

The three instinctively swallowed, their bodies stiff with fear at the sight before them, completely unable to move.

"You guys..."

At this moment, Ling Yun turned to look at them, as if wanting to say something.

But before he could finish, two men instantly drew their swords and faced him, their expressions resolute, showing a certain spirit.

Of course, it would have been better if their legs weren't trembling so much.

As for the pitiful junior sister, her delicate body trembled, her legs gave out, and she fell to the ground, then burst into tears with a "Wah!"

"Uh..."

Seeing them acting as if facing a great enemy, Ling Yun scratched his head helplessly. Why did he feel like a villain from a novel right now?

However, given the current situation, it was probably impossible to explain. He flickered his body and left the place immediately.

After the remaining few kept watch for a while, seeing that the terrifying guy seemed to have truly left, they couldn't help but feel fortunate to have saved their lives.

They didn't dare to linger any longer.

One of them grabbed the weak-legged junior sister, slung the utterly dejected Xu Wu over his shoulder, and fled back towards the Demon Suppression Division.
